Coleen Rooney was beaming with smiles as she set off on her I’m A Celebrity journey.
The WAG, 38, was seen smiling and having a laugh with pals as she made her way through Manchester Airport on Monday (November 11) as she gears up for her trip Down Under. The star is set to become one of this year’s campmates on the renowned ITV reality show.
Moving through the terminal, Coleen was brimming with positivity as she walked together with a good pal ahead of her huge trek to Australia. Wearing a casual look, she sported an oversized patterned two-piece with the shirt unbuttoned to reveal a simple black string top.

She also flaunted her accessories as she checked in for her flight, showing off her luxury black bag, which had chains for straps to add an extra touch of edge to her look. She also kept her makeup to a minimum as she opted for a natural look, with a simple splash of mascara on her eyelashes, and a dab of highlighter on her cheeks to give her the sun-kissed glow.
Coleen is reported to have bagged the largest ever appearance fee in the show’s history according to sources. For her time in the show, Coleen is set to earn an eye-watering £1.5million – £500k more than Reform UK leader Nigel Farage last year.
The former WAG is set to head into the jungle later this week, together with other rumoured stars including podcast host GK Barry and McFly star Danny Jones. These names are yet to be officially confirmed by ITV themselves.
Ahead of heading into the jungle, Coleen has been busy preparing for her trip, and has reportedly laid some ground rules for hubby Wayne while she is gone. It comes amid Wayne’s reputation for getting up to no good whilst Coleen is away.
Speaking to The Sun, a good pal of the fashionista said that family and friends have been roped in to check on Wayne to make sure he is not getting up to mischief. Wayne himself will be unable to head to Australia when Coleen makes it out of the jungle, as the Plymouth Argyle manager is in the midst of the football season.
It comes amid the ongoing tension between Coleen and rival Rebekah Vardy. Rebekah, who herself was in I’m A Celebrity back in 2017, has instructed her lawyers to “keep an eye” on the show in case her ongoing feud with her former pal is brought up in camp.
The pair have been at loggerheads ever since Coleen first accused Rebekah of selling fake stories about her to the media in 2019. Rebekah strongly denied the claims, and sued Coleen for libel – a case she lost, according to the judge’s ruling.
Since then, the “Wagatha Christie” debacle has carried on, with Rebekah now being ordered to pay for Coleen’s legal fees in the wake of the scandal. The former WAG has allegedly told her lawyers should Coleen mention the term in camp, she will reignite the feud and seek action once the show is over.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! returns on Sunday (November 17) at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
